Albert Einstein

Why I chose this person?• I think that Einstein was a talented man

• I want to know more about the achievements of this man

• And of course I want to talk about him to my classmates

Einstein published more than 300 scientific papers along with over 150 non-scientific works, and received honorary doctorate degrees in science, medicine and philosophy from many European and American universities.

He developed several important physical theories:

Albert Einstein was born in the German Empire on 14 March 1879

His father was Hermann Einstein, a salesman and engineer. His mother was Pauline Einstein

In 1894, his father's company failed: direct current lost the War of Currents to alternating current . In search of business, the Einstein family moved to Italy, first to Milan and then, a few months later, to Pavia.

In 1895, at the age of 16, Einstein sat the entrance examinations for the Swiss Federal Polytechnic in Zürich (later the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule ETH).

 In September 1896, he passed the Swiss Matura with mostly good grades, including a top grade of 6 in physics and mathematical subjects, on a scale of 1–6.

On 30 April 1905, Einstein completed his thesis, with Alfred Kleiner, Professor of Experimental Physics, serving as pro-forma advisor. As a result, Einstein was awarded a PhD by the University of Zürich, with his dissertation entitled, "A New Determination of Molecular Dimensions.

By 1908, he was recognized as a leading scientist and was appointed lecturer at the University of Bern.Based on calculations

Einstein made in 1911, about his new theory of general relativity, light from another star would be bent by the Sun's gravity.

In 1921, Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics.

In 1922, his travels took him to Asia and later to Palestine, as part of a six-month excursion and speaking tour, as he visited Singapore, Ceylon and Japan, where he gave a series of lectures to thousands of Japanese.

Einstein visited New York City for the first time on 2 April 1921, where he received an official welcome by the Mayor, followed by three weeks of lectures and receptions.

In his paper on mass–energy equivalence, Einstein produced E = mc2 from his special relativity equations. Einstein's 1905 work on relativity remained controversial for many years.

Einstein applied the general theory of relativity to model the structure of the universe as a whole.

On 5 December 2014, universities and archives announced the release of Einstein's papers, comprising more than 30,000 unique documents. Einstein's intellectual achievements and originality have made the word "Einstein" synonymous with genius. Monument A. Einstein in

Einstein has been the subject of or inspiration for many novels, films, plays, and works of music. He is a favorite

model for depictions of mad scientists and absent-minded professors; his expressive face and distinctive hairstyle

have been widely copied and exaggerated.

world is that it is at all comprehensible.
